RBR50 dead
Any ideas for an ORBI RBR 50 that is reduced to only a green power light? I don't even get links on ethernet connections. When I do a factory reset procedure on it I get a brief moment in time the fa...
I’ve tried multiple factory resets. Tftp is a no go. Can’t even get an Ethernet link.

did you watch the video? Or read it? you're setting a static ip address and forcing it. You won't "show a link".
And saying its a no go doesn't tell us what failed if you did try it. Or even if you tried nmrpflash.
And sometimes with both, it takes a few attempts because they're sensitive to timings.
- Yes, when I say there is no link it’s at the level 2 tier. The hardware won’t even activate to the point an IP address can be set. Same as having an air gap. And I did test with multiple cables and Ethernet adapters.
You don't set anything on the router. By setting it on the router, it tries to force a link doing tftp/nmrpflash and pushes the firmware to it.
Showing where it fails on tftp or nmrpflash can help
- Tftp is a layer 4 protocol utilizing UDP. I can’t even get to layer 2 working. No power is getting to the Ethernet port at all. The link I’m referring to is usually associated with a green led on the RJ45 socket. That comes on when the electrical connection is made and the layer 2 link is established.
